WW, if you have a credit card you can draw the money today and tommorrow you can phone the card division of your bank and ask them to transfer the amount drawn to your budget account. thats what I do if somebody only deals in cash.

thanks man, the thing is I am already planning disc brakes (R1750), new wheels (R3500), tires (R1000), rear adapter plates (R500). And I have to pay for the new body I am getting (R5000). So I think I should just postpone the spindles for the moment. ;)

WW, a word of warning! Make sure all your threads on your bolts and nuts for your wheels and adapter plates corrospond. I had a rear wheel fall off 3 times because of different threads. 12mm thread comes in at 12 x 1.25, 12 x 1.5 and 12 x 1.75.
BE CAREFUL.

WW,

You'd have a coronary if you knew what I've spent this year...I purposefully haven't kept receipts, but I have a rough idea.

Put it this way...there is less in my account now, than at the start of the year...
